Native speaker’s answer

Baz Luhrmann is a popular Australian film director. One of his most famous movies is Moulin Rouge! When Tiffany Young says that she is the "biggest Baz Luhrmann" she is saying that she is a huge fan of him and his work; she says nerd in the second sentence. She sort of pauses between the two sentences, making it sound rather odd. You may notice this every so often that native English speakers will stop speaking in the middle of their sentences. This is usually because he or she is trying to gather her thoughts. I believe this is what Tiffany Young did. She was trying to formulate what exactly she was going to say, making her pause in the middle of the sentence. The sentence should be "I am the biggest Baz Luhrmann nerd."
